Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 38 Staying up late at night
Even though Lin Shuyun got married, she still kept that room.
Mrs. Li cleans every day, and now that the bedding is laid out, she can go to sleep.
"It's still early. My brother and I will go and fix the small kiln. The apricot delivery will probably arrive tomorrow. We need to deliver the goods within the next two weeks."
Lin Shuyun acts on her thoughts immediately and dislikes procrastination.
Lin Hongwen eagerly offered, "Sister, I'll go help."
"You don't know how to do that? Didn't you say your brother-in-law is very knowledgeable? Why don't you hurry up and ask him for help? What if you can't keep up when you go back to the private school?"
Lin Hongwen used to study at a private school, but after Lin Dahai fell ill, his family was too poor to afford the tuition, so he never went back.
The Lin family owned two acres of land, and the young boy spent his days either working in the fields or collecting bird eggs and wild vegetables to supplement the family income.
"sister……"
Lin Hongwen wanted to cry again when he heard about studying. His father also told him to go to school, but the family was already in such dire straits.
Lin Shuyun slapped him across the face. "Why are you crying more than a young lady? You're so girly. If you cry, I'll beat you up."
Lin Hongwen blushed and burst into laughter through his tears.
Lin Shuyun turned to leave, but then turned back to Jiang Changtian and said, "After you finish teaching Hongwen, go back to your room and rest. I'll come over as soon as I'm done."
Jiang Changtian nodded, the mask on his face swaying.
Lin Shuyun was in a great mood and went to the back door with Lin Hongzhi.
Madam Li was brewing medicine for Lin Dahai, and occasionally Lin Hongwen's reading voice and Jiang Changtian's corrective voice could be heard from the courtyard.
After eating and drinking his fill, Old Xu took Lin Dahai to "reminisce."
Summer days are long and it gets dark. Even though the sun has set now, it's still a while before it gets dark.
A small kiln doesn't take much effort; the rest of the work can be done in two hours.
I tried burning them, and the dried apricots that came out tasted different from those that were simply dehydrated.
Lin Hongzhi, with a piece of dried apricot in his mouth, was excitedly waving his arms and legs.
"Little sister, when did you become so smart that you can even do this? This way, no matter how many apricots you have, you won't have to worry about them going bad."
Finally, all those apricots in the village can be sold.
Some people have dried apricots before, but they didn't look good, they were dark and black, and they were prone to getting infested with insects.
Lin Shuyun said with her hands behind her back, "When you're not home, I sometimes flip through your messy books, but I don't even remember where I saw them."
All three siblings in the Lin family are literate.
When Lin Dahai was young, he went out with the head manager to learn to read, so he taught his children to read as well.
Lin Hongwen loved reading, while Lin Hongzhi loved researching random little gadgets.
One day, Lin Hongzhi found a miscellaneous book about making mechanisms and began to take an interest in carpentry.
Lin Dahai then sent him to study under a famous carpenter in town, and he has been learning for five years now, including this year.
"Big brother, go back to sleep. You've been so busy today."
"You go back first, I'll come back after the fire goes out." Lin Hongzhi ate another dried apricot, full of energy and not sleepy at all.
Lin Shuyun ignored him and returned to her room, which was pitch black.
Seeing that Jiang Changtian had already fallen asleep, she tiptoed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
After lying down, I saw the excessively handsome face next to me by the moonlight streaming through the window.
Suddenly, a little devil with horns popped out of his heart and started giggling.
Jiang Changtian naturally didn't wear a face mask when he went to sleep that night. With a beauty beside him, it would be abnormal for him not to react.
"Ms. sir?"
Lin Shuyun called out softly.
Seeing that the people around it didn't react, its claws started to stir.
"you……"
Jiang Changtian suddenly opened his eyes and caught Lin Shuyun touching his face red.
Actually, he wasn't asleep; he knew she had come in.
I never expected her to...
Lin Shuyun wasn't embarrassed at all. She reached out and tucked a strand of Jiang Changtian's hair that was lying on the pillow. She parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Why don't you call me Yunyun anymore, my husband?"
Her nickname is Yunyun. This man really knows how to call her that. His voice is also very pleasant.
Lin Shuyun's kang (heated brick bed) was already small, and the two of them were lying too close together.
Jiang Changtian could even feel the fragrance of her breath on his face as she spoke, and his muscles were tense all over.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a low voice, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
Lin Shuyun chuckled softly and turned her back.
"My husband is so handsome, goodnight."
Jiang Changtian couldn't sleep that night. The kang (heated brick bed) was too small for him to turn over, which was really uncomfortable.
……
……
The next morning, someone delivered apricots.
"Day, are you home?"
"Yes, village chief, Uncle Dagen, why did you come in person?"
Since changing his medication, Lin Dahai has been coughing less and feels much better.
Uncle Dagen carried four baskets. "I've brought apricots. The apricots on the trees are all ripe. I'm bringing four baskets first. See if they're okay?"
The apricots in the basket were all large and bright orange; they were clearly handpicked.
Lin Shuyun came out of the house and called out, "Hongwen, come out quickly and get weighed."
Lin Hongwen quickly took out paper and pen.
After weighing the apricots, Lin Shuyun said, "Grandpa Dagen, the four baskets weigh a total of sixty jin. I can only pay you after I hand over the dried apricots to Boss Ke."
Uncle Dagen, who brought the apricots, chuckled and said, "I know, I know. The village chief already said so. We're all from the village, how could we not trust each other? If there's no problem, we'll go back and continue picking."
Seeing that there was no problem, the village chief went home and sent his son to pick apricots as well, since his family had four trees.
Once the villagers saw that Uncle Dagen had successfully delivered the goods, even more people came one after another.
The Lin family home was soon packed with people, and the courtyard was soon piled high with apricots.
Aunt Li made breakfast and rushed over to help without even having a bite to eat herself.
Lin Hongwen couldn't count them all by himself, so Jiang Changtian sat down and helped count.
The villagers are all honest people, and the apricots they brought were mostly whole and not rotten.
It was almost noon before no one came.
Only then did Madam Li speak up in surprise, "Hongzhi, what were you and your son-in-law doing last night? Didn't you sleep at all?"
"puff……"
Lin Shuyun almost choked while drinking water.
That sounds ambiguous.
Jiang Changtian's gaze unconsciously fell on her, then quickly shifted away.
Old Xu chuckled and said, "Tell me what you've been up to for the past two nights instead of sleeping?"
Lin Hongzhi didn't understand and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I saw that there were still many mud bricks, so I built another small kiln. That way, we can fire the dried apricots faster."
He spent most of last night doing this instead of sleeping.
With experience, he completed the second one very quickly.
Lin Shuyun gave a thumbs up, "Big brother, you're really capable. I'll leave the work of roasting apricots to you, and I'll pay you later."
Lin Hongzhi scratched his head; he didn't care about wages.
"But I have to go back to my master's place tomorrow, what am I going to do?"
"That's easy, just hire someone," Lin Shuyun said casually.
Lin Dahai glared at her, "You just open your mouth and start hiring people. You can't spend money like this."
This girl's extravagant spending habit is not good; I'll have to have her mother give her a good talking-to later.
Lin Shuyun shrugged, "I'm out of money. I didn't say I'd pay you now. I'll have the money once the dried apricots are delivered."
She has a lot of money, but taking it out would only attract too much envy. She already attracted envy when she paid back the money before, so she should just forget about taking it.
"Maybe we should forget it. I'm still in good health, I can do this job." Lin Dahai thought for a moment, wanting to save some money for his daughter.
Lin Shuyun negotiated all the apricot harvesting and selling jobs. Her mother, Yunniang, had helped her enough, so he certainly couldn't take his daughter's money.
Lin Shuyun waved her hand, "Dad, you should rest. Just do the work of picking apricot pits. Your illness is most aggravated by overexertion."
There was a noise at the door as soon as he finished speaking.
